- Abstract
- Traditional North Indian religious music has, for the most part, used traditional drums like the tabla. This article describes the work that has been done thus far in integrating a robotic drummer in a music band. It illustrates a user centred design approach for the creation of an interface to be used by musicians working with the robot. The interface is designed to be used during a training session for the creation of a tabla accompaniment piece with little additional training or technical knowledge. The first iteration of the design was created and formative testing was conducted. Users were successfully able to use the interface to complete a series of tasks and recommendations were gathered for improving the next iteration.
